Lighting Effects

This diverse filter lets you simulate 3-D lights being added to your "scene." You have a lot of choices with this filter, so start with the presets. You can pick from 17 light styles, 3 light types, and 4 sets of light properties. All of these can be tweaked and repositioned. You can also use a bump map (grayscale texture) to produce 3-D-like effects. This filter is very useful for creating focus, generating backgrounds, and adding a high-end look to bumper graphics. Digital Film Tools Light! is a big step up from this filter.
